All drawings are based on the Cartesian coordinate system with three mutually perpendicular axes (X, Y, Z).

Every drawing has a fixed, unchangeable coordinate system known as the World Coordinate System (WCS).


You can specify point coordinates absolutely or relative to a previous point.

For a relative input, precede the coordinates with an "@".
